Filipino Chicken Adobo (incredible, EASY chicken thigh recipe!)

Filipino Chicken Adobo is the national dish of the Philippines and may well become your new favourite Asian chicken dish! Just a few everyday ingredients I can practically guarantee you already have, it's an effortless recipe that yields juicy, tender chicken coated in a sweet savoury glaze with little pops of heat from peppercorns.
This is a chicken thigh recipe and it MUST be made with thighs - no substituting with chicken breast!

I’m Mexican but my mom worked with a lot of Filipino people when I was young. This and sinagang were my favorites growing up.

[@marinefrod7685]

I'm Filipino and my favorites are sinigang ang Tinolang manok🤤🤤🤤.

[@mjparadero7046]

Sinigang yessssss

[@ughkaliyah.]

I’m also Mexican and my mum makes Filipino foods 🫶🏽 I love those filipino springrolls, filipino pasta, adobo, kwek kwek and sinagang ⭐️

[@YoRHa_SAIYAN]

Should i add water in soya sauce?

[@TabiMainit]

You have great taste my bro

[@Hellrider.22]

My parents are Filipino but I was born in Spain. Recently I moved to USA, I miss my mom's cooking so much that i decided to start making my own filipino food. Thank you so much for the recipe.

[@Mary-sh2bp]

I looked at the comments down below and it’s amazing that everyone seemed to like Filipino adobo! I’m Filipino, and I had to google how to make adobo because my mom couldn’t be bothered. She said: “Just google it!” Yours is amazing! Loved it! But, my mom uses sprite instead of water because it tenderizes bone-in chicken. However, if you have boneless, just use sugar and it’s good too.

[@kathylikestrlc]

Does your mom use sprite and sugar? Or replaces the sugar with sprite?

[@Mary-sh2bp]

@@kathylikestrlc with bones, just sprite is fine. However, depends on your soy sauce too. Because you need to balance the saltiness with sugar, vinegar and etc. Tbh, I like using both, but not too much sugar, please!

[@Mixwell1983]

@@Mary-sh2bp funny you mentioned sprite cuz my bro in laws aunt who is Filipina made a disgusting look when i told her ive made adobo twice and used sprite one time and she said Sprite isn't used but i saw recipes which use it..

[@Mary-sh2bp]

@@Mixwell1983 lol. The sugar in the sprite can help with taste and since you have to put water anyways, it’s 2in1! Haha

[@aristotel3s808]

Ate? lol yeah my mom says the same shit haha then wonders why I cook better than her. Has the nerve to tell my cousins she taught me how to cook 🤣🤣

Squid Adobo (𝘈𝘥𝘰𝘣𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘗𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘵 in Tagalog), one of the several traditional native adobo dishes here in the Philippines (others are Pork Adobo, Chicken Adobo, Beef Adobo, Fish Adobo, 𝘈𝘥𝘰𝘣𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘒𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘬𝘰𝘯𝘨, 𝘈𝘥𝘰𝘣𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘈𝘵𝘢𝘺, &c.), also tastes like heaven. You should try it, it's one of my favorite dishes here. 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

Sucha great, traditional Filipino dish. Thank you so much for helping get a taste of home 🥰

[@k9keo]

Thanks for the simple recipe. Just made this, came out delicious. 😋 Haven’t had adobo in years.

[@carolemaurois3828]

We made the chicken for dinner tonight. It was delicious! I only used 1 tspn black pepper and added one tspn of chicken bullion.

[@mymyersfamily]

This was very good. I marinated by chicken on the counter for about 30 min before cooking and it had a lot of flavor.

[@lovecats777]

Simple yet delicious recipe . The steps are easy to follow. Tq for the video

[@traceycosta9196]

Absolutely loving your website and videos. We’ve made this dish and so good.

My parents are Filipino but I was born in Canada. I am still learning how to cook Filipino food but I think you can never go wrong with Adobo!

short and sweet video, adobo is such a simple dish to cook; no b.s.

[@REOGURU]

Super easy and great taste. I've tried about half a dozen other Adobo recipies that were much more complicated that didn't even come close to this one. TY!

Looks delicious and mouthwatering. Mmmmmm

[@balbinastudans2514]

Thank you for the wonderful chicken 🐓 Adobo

[@walexander8378]

This is the one. Looks like a nice thick sauce. Making it tomorrow Tomorrow: ok, I made this for family and we all agreed on less vinegar. I would cut it by 20% to start. Also add 10% more brown sugar. But it was good 🙂

[@kaktusdesiberie7196]

I don’t know which vinegar you used but in another recipe the host specified that often cane vinegar is used and that it is much milder than white vinegar.

[@jonathonparks9518]

@@kaktusdesiberie7196 oh you can use apple cider vinegar as a perfect substitute. The recipe calls for a more milder tasting vinegar. If you have nothing else white vinegar will work. You just need to use more sugar to balance out the sourness of the white vinegar.

[@FlashiestRed]

Love the music, it went pretty well with the video

I tried this recipe once. Today, i am here again as i will cook it again later. 😂😂😂

[@Garapetsa]

I just made using boneless chicken legs. This one is a 10! I served with risotto. She's right...you can't use a breast because it will dry out. The vinegar tenderizes the meat.

[@jeanietong93]

this looks delicious, i always cook adobo with chicken legs, this would be my first time with thighs 🥰🥰🥰

[@Manko_Panko]

Thank you for this comment, I have some chicken legs I got on sale and was worried they wouldn't work since the recipe it says to use thigh for the fat.

Omg.. how i didn't know before about this!! Cooking as soon as possible! 😍😍😍

Im srilankan , but i have alot of philippines friends here in dubai im work with them, so mostly i eat they food😂, absolutely i love philphinoo food

So you just eat the peppercorns? Are they soft enough after simmering?

[@NataliaAnayeli]

This is really good! Made it last night. What kind of salad is that? It looks good also.

Looks delicious. What’s in the cucumber salad?

Delicious and easy 🙏

[@ronaldbmaghilum]

I watched many adobo recipe, this is the most accurate. You should cook first the leftover marinade then the meat.

[@Eheads89-02]

Finally a filipino dish!

[@PriyusCuisine]

Any alternative for light soy sauce... Any suggestion would work

[@russofamily9232]

This looks amazing. I also looked at the url RecipeTinEats for the recipe. I didn't see the measurements for each ingredient. I mean do I use the force? LOL How much garlic, oil, everything??? I'm going to burn down the house!!!! Help me Obi Wan Kinobe! You're my only hope!

[@markcarat4000]

I doubled the recipe but kept the liquid at the same amount. Didn’t reduce properly. Should I cook it in 2 batches next time?

[@kdotwilly7935]

how can I make this with a lot of sauce please?? 💕

[@liezinholland2671]

Hi Tin. I am a Filipino. You are such a sweet. Thank you for adding Filipino Cuisine in your videos. I am a fan. But of course, I can make Adobo better.😊

Can I use white sugar instead?

hummmmm

Looks like im making this tonight for the ADOBROS

[@yoonpender5661]

Can i try this with bone-in-thighs?

[@cedricedwards4760]

Can I marinate longer than 20 minutes?

[@preciousblanza7770]

yes, the longer, the better. I'm fr PH btw😉

[@meow-ge7xk]

overnight is the best!

[@aussieqbbq]

I marinate overnight

[@tathagataojha186]

Marinate until you lose patience

[@damienleigh9943]

You can but you may accidentally end the world in the process.

[@user-yc2cu6zf9g]

if there's no bay leaves what would be the substitute ingredient for it?

[@nathanaelpereira4309]

What kind of sugar is that? I don't think its regular sugar because it has a different texture

[@zatoichi4449]

Where can I get "simmer"??

[@Who__Als]

Sugar in the dish make me curious,gonna try this definitely.love from India
